You can basically long jump this canal, which ends up making it feel a little more social.<br /><br />Regarding the Rio Salado, there&#39;s a lot of wildlife down there as they develop the riparian demonstration area. I acknowledge the fragile existence of any water mammals that may have taken up residence there, but my main concern for them would be the coyotes which prowl the water courses of the city looking for food, and I&#39;m pretty sure the scrawny wily canines do not count themselves among the select readership of this blog. Beaver stencil: what a wonderful world it would be if more city parks departments had a shortage of those, wouldn&#39;t it?John Romeo Alphahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573643993147698300.post-73014828219194786542011-09-03T14:40:16.353-07:002011-09-03T14:40:16.353-07:00I&#39;ve wanted to explore this canal since you po...I&#39;ve wanted to explore this canal since you posted this. I was struck by how the size of the canal influenced the quality of the ride. On other canals the width limits your interaction with the other users. I was able to greet and have conversations with people on the other side of the canal, which cannot be done on the Grand Canal or the Arizona canal.<br /><br />***You may or may not want to edit this out.***<br /><br />I saw another very small lane that you describe in your post about the &quot;Interesting Lane Indicator&quot; at 7th St. &amp; the Rio Salado path. At the top of the riverbank is a pond with a resident beaver. I found this out when I realized that I was having a staring contest with the beaver as I was taking a break on the way home from the Highline Canal. A very pleasant surprise. Anyway, maybe the Parks Department wanted to create a lane for the beaver(s) to get down to the river bottom? They just don&#39;t have a beaver stencil and just used one that they have on hand.mseintempehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235171034613893264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573643993147698300.post-63110457390555437882010-11-02T06:10:21.074-07:002010-11-02T06:10:21.074-07:00Steve, not that we can be 100% certain based on th...Steve, not that we can be 100% certain based on the track record of the countless deluded people who previously believed they knew the precised end date of the universe and were wrong, but I am willing to bet 2012 ain&#39;t it (again), and would be more than happy to take any nice steel road bikes off the hands of those who are committed to that date, since they won&#39;t need it anyway.<br /><br />I believe those buckets are cast iron, limom. The artists&#39; site linked above says the bucket column is &quot;a take on Brancusi’s Endless Column&quot;.
